Give it some time. Devs have had to go from a nonexistent community to tens of thousands. It will take some time to iron out the kinks especially with distributed open source developers. As for 'soon' I'd say probably a week at the absolute minimum. Growing pains of a new technology

True fact bud
I guess you're right. I'll try switching instance and hopefully that will help.
Try other instances: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances
For finding communities I recommend lemmyverse.net over browse.feddit.de; the former is more consistent
Maybe try migrating to a smaller instance? Lemmy.world is massive so that may be a part of it.
Would that help? I tried signing up to Lemmy.ml since I want to post on beehaw too but it timed out and didn't let me join.
lemmy.ml is also very large, so I would look for something smaller. you can try vlemmy.net It isn't that small, but it seems to have 100% uptime from stats.
Okay then. I'll try vlemmy. Thank you.
lemm.ee looks good too.
It did for me. Had constant timeouts on some other instances I tried. Then I switched to FMHY, and now everything works smoothly.
Kbin is working better for me than lemmy atm so I browse from there a lot.
Same here, although it's only like 90% of my posts. I figured it must be on my end, but I guess not.
Remember Reddit used to go down all the time too, but it will improve.
the major issues I have with the platform are very minor things but are more QoL issues:
- up/down voting on a post or comment doesnt always happen - however, if I open the post or the comment thread in a new tab, I can see that it did occur.
- delays in displaying that a comment was successful. sometimes the above method works, other times it doesnt. sometimes the comment will just not go through and I'll give up.
- notifications for new messages do not disappear from the top bar when I have read them, I have to refresh the page.
other than that, lemmy seems to be a very stable platform. hopefully 0.18 fixes some of these issues.
Regarding unread replies, this system is actually better. It does remove the notification if you reply back to that message, but leaves as unread if you don't. On reddit I often got into a situation where I navigated away from my unread messages before I've read them all and lost that list as a result. That was super annoying.
This system requires you to manually mark messages as unread, if you have not replied to them.
What's funny is I experienced all of these issues on the reddit app too
